Sour Grapes Bring them on The red flags The complaints and problems The idiosyncrasies Hang-ups And annoying habits I would usually ignore In the beginning In the flush of infatuation And romantic urgency Bring them on So I can list them Like armor To shield my heart Early on From any pain Rejection And disappointment Turning away from you Appearing disinterested Flirting with the sassy bartender The sleek and sexy businesswoman Settling next to me Ordering a martini Dirty With olives I am making a list And checking it twice No longer thinking You are naughty or nice
